Heh, I had that thought, too.
ION, Neal McDonough on Justified! That is going to be amazing.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

OMG, Ben and Vivian are totally Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin from Beetlejuice now!
Ha!!
Man, what a fucked-up, crazy show. I don't even know what they plan to do in the second season.

OK, AHS, you cracked me up last night. You win. I'm so looking forward to S2.

I like Ben so much better when he's dead.

Right? They're such an enjoyable dead couple! Perfect little nuclear family now. Aw.

Because books.
They were having so much fun together, gruesomely killing each other!
This show is INSANE. I was prepared for the WTF factor, but I had no idea how far they were going to go.

Seriously, Amy. I was just so baffled and confused when they killed Ben off so early. I was like...but...but...what now? Where do they go? This new family can't be the stars of next season, right? They're not famous. And then it's just like JESUS CHRIST THIS HOUSE IS SO FUCKING FULL OF GHOSTS. Is this just going to the haunted house show now? Where basically all the characters are dead? And also three years in the future the Antichrist kills someone? I mean. I don't even know.
Tim posted an article the other day that asked, "Is this show good?" And I totally get why that question needs to be asked! Because it's not "good" in the obvious sense of all those HBO/AMC/fX shows. It's totally bonkers. But I think it's definitely doing something new and interesting. The way they've crafted the rules for their ghosts allows for storytelling that's unlike most anything else I've seen in the genre.

Because books.
And yet some of the characterizations are really brilliant -- Jessica Lange as Constance, for example. She's really the most developed character on the show.
The (brief) new family was interesting simply because it illustrated that the Harmons weren't really anything special -- the ghosts are going to go after any new residents the same way every time. But the Harmons are different because now the whole family is together, and happy in a way they weren't when they moved in, which is just fucked up and sort of brilliant -- as in, what does it take to be happy in America? How do you achieve the dream?
Ugh, I love it. It's ridiculous and over the top and the most fun I've had watching TV in a while. And then every once in a while it's really moving, too!
